Excise Dept Delayed Action by 51 Days After Detecting Irregularities

The Excise Department issued a notice 51 days after identifying serious irregularities, raising questions about the nature and intent of the investigation. Was there a cover-up or a slow internal probe?

The District Excise Department has issued a show cause notice to Surya Trends Mall FL-3 (a) Hotel Lustomonia Club and Kitchen for serving liquor late at night. The special thing in this is that the Excise Department has issued this notice 51 days after the irregularities were found in the investigation and now has asked for a reply within seven days.

The Excise Department has said in the notice issued to the hotel operator Ajay Singh that if a satisfactory answer is not received, action can be taken to cancel the license. Just five days ago, the Patrika team had visited the city's hotels and dhabas at midnight and collected information.

The city's hotels and dhabas were found closed, but Lustomonia Club and Kitchen was bustling at 1.30 am. After the publication of the news in the Patrika, SSP Vijay Agarwal warned the police station in-charges of Sati. Here the Excise Department remembered its old raid and issued a notice on July 21.
